For three decades, Cecil
Gaines (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker) served as the chief butler for
six consecutive US presidents including Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy
(James Marsden), and Richard Nixon (John Cusack). Working intimately with these
world leaders at the White House, Cecil Gaines more than just witnessed radical
transformations in American history; in many ways he inspired them. Academy
Award® nominee Lee Daniels directs a stellar ensemble
cast who between them have garnered 18 Academy Award® nominations.
